Bungee instructors who tossed student off 130-foot bridge to her death claim they âcanât rememberâ who was supposed to tether her
A trio of bumbling bungee instructors who hurled a student off a bridge without a rope attached claimed they âcanât rememberâ who was tasked with tethering her.
Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, 21, plummeted to her death off Brazilâs 130-foot Skeleton Bridge â while her fiancĂŠ watched in horror â after Luis Felipe Feliciano Egoroff, 32, Maicon Fernandes Cintra, 42, and Vitor de Freitas Gonçalves, 27, forgot to secure the bungee cord.


The instructors admitted to investigators that they âblacked outâ and couldnât remember who was supposed to attach the safety line.
In newly-released interrogation footage obtained by EPTV, the instructors discuss their alleged involvement leading up to Freitasâ fatal plunge.
Egoroff told authorities that he and Cintra were responsible for attaching the rope, but claimed he âcanât rememberâ the moments after he took the lead while inching Freitas to the edge.
âAfter that, it erased from my mind,â he said.
Cintra, meanwhile, brought up the rear of the trio and was holding Freitas by her feet. He said that the trio would typically flip-flop between who tethers the rope.

âItâs us three on the job. I canât understand at what moment I didnât see the rope,â Cintra said.
âI simply cannot understand.â
The rope laid limp on the bridge as Freitas disappeared over the ledge. A witness recording Freitasâ dive panned the camera over to the rope in apparent disbelief, shouting âGuys, the rope!â
Freitas was also given a GoPro to capture the jump from her point-of-view. Gonçalves told investigators that they âdonât knowâ where the camera is.

A nurse who rushed to treat Freitas revealed that the aspiring physical education teacher was somehow still alive when they found her, but died from her horrific injuries soon after.
The three men were charged with homicide and remain in pre-trial detention.
Two of them reportedly tried to flee the bridge before being tracked down by a military helicopter in a nearby wooded area, according to local media. Seen as flight risks, they were all denied bond.
Three additional suspects who also worked at the jump center were taken into custody, but later released.
